similar to: link_to only links to current controller?

So I''ve used the helper test plugin, and also tried some things from Rails Recipes, and basically neither seems to work for cases where a helper does anything related to link_to/url_for, and this includes calling named_routes. This is obviously an issue, as a common use for helpers is to refactoring something like this: <%= link_to "text that changes slightly", :id => id

In both url_for and link_to, the :only_path param can be used to determine whether the link url used is complete with hostname and path, or just has the path (a kind of relative url). However, in url_for it defaults to false (urls with hostnames), and in link_to it defaults to true ( urls without hostnames, just paths). Is there any reason for this discrepency? To me, it violates the principle

This error seems pretty bizarre. I''m using ActionMailer and am using a template in app/views/welcome_mailer/join.rhtml which has this line: <%= link_to :controller => ''group'', :action => ''join'', :group => @group.id, :ic => @code.code %> The error is: undefined method `url_for'' for #<WelcomeMailer: 0x2aaaad4fb470>

Whenever I try to pass an options hash to the link_to method (or url_for, or button_to) I get this error: undefined method `rewrite'' for []:ActionController::Routing::PathSegment::Result The trace ends with /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.2/lib/action_controller/base.rb:522:in `url_for''

After successfully getting my "productized" sites into production, I decided it was time to get the development environment working (i.e. through "script/server --site=foo"). However, when I go to run a site under Webrick, I get two major errors: (0) Routes don''t seem to work properly, specifically the root-level route gets ignored. Instead,

Hi, I am trying to generate a link to external site with GET parameters ( in new window). I tried following code, but it does not produce any parameters. <%=link_to "Open New Page", "https://www.foo.com/page/", {:popup => true}, {:param1 => "value1", :param2 => "value2"}%> and <%=link_to "Open New Page",

Hy guys, Inside my app I have a form which contains user information. Sometimes a have a form with a text_field as above: <%= form_remote_tag(:html => { :action => url_for(:controller => "my_controller", :action => "my_action") }) %> <%= text_field(''my_object'', ''my_parameter'', :maxlength =>

I am new to ActionMailer and having a problem. I want to be able to send a notification e-mail when a new item is added to a list. Sending an e-mail to the right people on creation is working fine. However, I want to include in the e-mail a link to the application so that users can click on the link in the e-mail and immediately be taken to the show view for the new item. When I add a link_to

Hi, all I''m trying call link_to from another helper but got this error: undefined method `link_to'' for module `UserHelper'' how can I get access to helper from another helper? this is my users_helper.rb: module UsersHelper alias ink_to_original link_to alias link_to link_to_permission def link_to_permission(name, options = {}, html_options = nil,

We''ve been having problems writing functional tests for helper methods that rely on ActionView methods. Here''s a specific example. In application_helper.rb I''ve got a method called ''party_link()¨: def party_link(party) link_to party.full_name, { :controller => ''contacts'', :action =>

Hello, I''m having hard times on a very simple problem : how to provide a css class to a link_to tag ? I''m using this : <%= link_to ''Cancel'', :action => ''list'', :class => ''btn-cancel'' %> and RoR produces this : <a href="/gallery/list?class=btn-cancel">Cancel</a> I''ve read the doc

Hello, I am trying to set the protocol and host in link_to based on the documentation. I have the following: <%= link_to "View Cart", {:controller => ''store'', :action => ''view_cart'', :protocol => ''https://'', :host => ''secure.host.com''} %> I would expect this to generate a https link to another

What options do I need to provide to link_to so that it generates truly absolute URLs (i.e. including protocol://host:port/path)? It seems that even when I provide :host and :protocol arguments to url_for that it suppresses these when they match the current request.

Hello. I realize that link_to is a helper that generally only has use in a view file, but recently I have come across a situation where it would be useful in a controller. I am trying to create a flash[:notice] and I want to link to another page. Of course, I could hard code the HTML, but for the sake of consistency, I was wondering if there is a way to abstract it from within the controller

In one of my pages I want to create some URLs that go to the same page, but tack on an extra parameter (column sorting stuff). How do I do that? I''ve tried link_to "Title", :sort => "title" and that''s pretty close...it keeps the controller name, but it doesn''t include one of the parameters. I''m using nested routes, so the URL should

I have a link-to that I wish to look somewhat like this: link_to "link here", new_object_path, :method => :post, :confirm => ''Press OK'', #url options :class => "css_class", :id => "css_id" #html options In any case I can either get the url_for options to work or the html options to work, but

I have searched through the api several times through and can''t seem to find this. <%= link_to ''Help'', {:url => ''https://www.example.com/page?AppServeHelp''}, {:target => "_new"} %> but this doesn''t work as it still prepends the current server/controller space on the url itself. How do I accomplish this? Thanks Craig

I have a piece of code like this in one of my views: <%=link_to "link here", :action=>''my_action'', :id=>1 %> It works fine on my local development machine, running Webrick over http and it works fine on my testing server which is running single mongrel instance behind Apache 1.3 as a proxy. On both the outcome link is this: <a

Hi, when I generate a new rails project with a simple scaffolded controller, I get a strange error message, whenever it tries to call the url_for method, for example: ,---- | undefined method `rewrite'' for #<Url:0xb7675e64> | | Extracted source (around line #7): | | 4: </p> | 5: <% end %> | 6: | 7: <%= link_to ''Edit'', :action =>
